EID |
Element identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
PID |
Identification number of a PSEC section property entry. Default = EID (Integer > 0) |
|
G# |
Identification number of GRIDS section grid points. No default (Integer > 0) |
Element identification numbers within a section definition must be unique with respect to all other element identification numbers within the same section definition.
Grid points G1 through G8 must be numbered as shown here:
This entry is only valid when it appears between the BEGIN,HYPRBEAM and END,HYPRBEAM statements.
